12.3 Installation Space
To ensure that the instrument fulfills its function, it is important to install it at an appropriate
place:
• Choose a place that is close to the power supply and proper waterway.
• Secure a place spacious enough for maintenance and service. Giving consideration to
heat radiation by the instrument, provide at least 50 cm distance from the wall to side,
rear, and top panels.
• Choose a place where reagent is easy to handle.
The instrument dimensions are shown below. The power supply cord is 1.8 m long, the
waste tube up to 6 m long, and the diluent (CELLPACK) tube up to 2 m long.

CAUTION: • When the diluent (CELLPACK) tube is more than 2 m long, it may be
impossible to have reagent aspirated. Avoid setting CELLPACK at a
level higher than the instrument; otherwise, reagent may flow into the
vacuum line, possibly damaging the instrument.
